'Not one puncture since... 2015': You had your say on a world without flats while cycling

In this image of how to fix a puncture is the lower half of a rider holding a front wheel in their right hand and the rest of the bike in their left, while standing on a road with a sandy background. .

Last week I wrote a piece asking whether the writing was really on the wall for the bike rider's most diabolical foe, the puncture.

Advances in materials and a complete overhaul in the way we fit rubber to our wheels means that many of us will count ourselves unlucky if we get more than one flat a year.
